Someone Who Had Red Hair

"Ah~ forget it. Let's just keep in your mind..I'm an inventor." Zoro sighing and continue again.

"I was in a rescue mission. I think I was jab by a spear while Rachael was..unconscious and her arm broke. We were supposed to be dead, but then we end up in a dark place. Just like what Ning Zhi said earlier. And then we fall from the sky. Just like that."

"Hmm..so the three of you enter the same place without you know it?" Freya asks and the three of them nod their head slowly.

"Then, it's true that there is another universe beside this world huh?"

"I don't know about that but let just assume I agree with you." Zoro patted on his pocket like he was searching for something.

"Uh…do you have a pen? Or anything that I can use to draw? and paper too."

"We have ink, quills, and scroll," Kyra said.

"Oh... Can I borrow it?"

"Sure. I'll go and get it." Kyra went to Freya's study room and took out an empty scroll and ink with a quill.

She gives it to the man and she sits beside him. Eagerly want to see what he want to draw. Freya also moves to sit closer to him.

Zoro spans the scroll and uses the quill to draw. He shows the fluffy feather to Rachael with a smile.

"Really interesting, right?"

"Adventurous. You like something like that right?" Rachael also smiles at him. She knows they are now far from the modern days. It is indeed interesting. They can study these new ages and world whilst they're here.

Zoro lowered his gaze to the scroll as he starts to draw their story flow. He assumes that there is a multi-universe world where he entered one of the black holes and end up in here.

He then looked up at Ning Zhi. He intends to ask her this question after he listens to her story before. "Ning Zhi, in your world..what year you lived in?"

Ning Zhi scrunch her eyebrow a bit. "Erm..2019."

Rachael blinks her eyes a few times and then she looks at Zorro who also looks at her.

"What? Why your expression like that?" Ning Zhi feels nervous.

"That because..we're from…" Zorro clearing his throat a bit. "2043."

Ning Zhi's jaw almost dropped. "So…we're from..different time zone?"

"Looks like it."

"Hey..we don't understand what're you talking about." Kyra snaps her finger.

"Ah, sorry. I'll explain it now." Zoro looks at her and draws the rest of the story flow.

After he's done. He pointed the quill to the first circle drawing. "This is your world. Let's call it earth one."

All of them nodded. And then he pointed another circle which he colored it with the ink. "And this is our world. We call it earth two."

Again, they nod their head.

"So.." He pointed at the line he draws in between two circles. "This is a 'door' where I, Rachael and Ning Zhi got pulled to your world without knowing why and how and landed here. In your world." He pointed back at the earth one's circle.

"I and Rachael are from different times zone with Ning Zhi. Which means...I am almost decades-years away from Ning Zhi's year. This is means, it's not only happening in the same year. It was random."

"Okay. Now I get it. But..what's the reason you've been summoned in here?" Freya sits back and looked at him.

"If I know the reason, wouldn't you think I will make this face?" Zoro shows her his blank face. He also did not have any idea why he's been in here.

"What do you mean by summoned?" Kyra looks at her with a questioning face.

"Well, from the past..the first person who has been landed on the dumpster sea is my father. He is…I don't know, but he said he's an astronomical teacher. But later, it was found out that he is the man from my kingdom's prophecy. Which means…is me. After he has done his part, he vanished just like that. My grandpa said that he returns back to his own world. I don't know. Maybe it's true."

"Hm? What is your father's name?" Zoro asks.

"Chris Taylor."

"Chris Taylor? You mean…Prof. Chris Taylor?" Ning Zhi tilts her head a little. In her university, there is a professor by that name. But he already old and had a family too.

"What is a 'prof'?" Freya looks at her.

"Chris Taylor. I think I've heard this name. But there are thousands of people with that name too. The only one who rings the bells is the one who comes up with a light novel. It's about Mermaid love." Rachael said. She read the novel because her mom said it was a good one.

"A mermaid love is indeed is written by that professor." Ning Zhi rubs her chin. "I've read it. It's about a man who transmitted to other world and met with the beautiful mermaid."

Freya eyes lit and she smiles widely. "So, you know who is my father? Did he live well? How is he looked like?"

Ning Zhi looks at her with an awry face. How should she put it into a word?

"He's..he's fine. He is a very good man actually. Even though I'm not taking his class. But, my senior said, he's a very good teacher."

"Really??" She looks right into Ning Zhi's eyes. Making her a bit nervous. Ning Zhi nods her head.

"That's good then." She looks satisfied with Ning Zhi answer. Yuina at the corner could see that Freya must be eagerly want to see her real father. But judging from how Ning Zhi react, she also know..it might be better if a certain thing is not being told.

"So, leave that first. About summoning, are you sure there is a reason why they're here?" Kyra asks in Yuina's behalf. She knew Yuina want to ask them too. But because of Freya, she did not want to interfere with her. Or rather, she doesn't want to have a talk with her at all.

"Yup. There must be it." She rubs her chin a bit and looks at Ning Zhi from top to her toes.

"Is there any possibilities that…you're the true Red Demon King?" Freya throws a deadly question to her.

It makes all of them turn to her. And also makes all of them noticed something similar between Yuina and Ning Zhi. Their hair color!

"Why looking at her like that?" Rachael breaks the awkward silence between them.

"Well…Why don't you enlighten them, Hayden." Freya looks at him with a sweet smile.

"Alright then. This is Yuina." He shows them the girl who sits beside him. "She's the princess of Zirconia Kingdom. She is-"

"Wait, wait! Let me write it down first." Zoro is already ready with his ink. He needs to gather all the information first.

"Done?" Hayden looks at him.

"Yeah. Please continue."

"In this world, there are five great kingdoms who is equally strong. Onyx Kingdom, Garnet Kingdom, Heliodor Kingdom, Peridot Kingdom, and the Zirconia Kingdom."

"Wow..each of them is a gem name? Is there any story behind the name?" Rachael asks with interest in her voice.

"Most of each kingdom has that stone as their energy source."

"Oh, thought so."

"So, each kingdom are built from different races and creatures. For the Onyx Kingdom, their land is inhabited by giant, ogre, werewolf and other creatures. For Garnet... it's ruled by Chimera King, but the citizen is resided by human and mixed with other creatures too. For Heliodor, it is ruled by succubus queen, an only small portion of human staying in that kingdom, most of them are devils type creature. The Peridot Kingdom is-"

"Resided by magician, fairies, elves, wizard and is ruled by a very tactical king," Freya interject him.

Hayden did not deny it. Peridot really has a tactical King. But he is quite a wise king too. The rumor said that the new king is quite young. Younger than Yuina. Must be the one who he met from before.

"And Zirconia is foundered and ruled by Red Demon Dragon along with four knight dragons. But, it was thousands of years ago and the prophecy said the reincarnation of the Red Dragon will be born. But it also the end for the Zirconia kingdom when the other four kingdoms attacking Zirconia. Zirconia is the only kingdom which is resided by fully human races."

"The prophecy predicts the reincarnation is someone who had red hair. And yours…Ning Zhi also has red hair just like Princess Yuina here."
